    Excellent speed, great video, SUPER fast wireless and it even has the new AC WiFi. I have not seen any other computers under $1000 with this feature. It has USB 3.0, which I used to connect my old hard drive to. The transfer speed is amazing. The keyboard is ridiculous, why would any company put dark gray keys on a black keyboard without having it at least lighted. The first thing to do is break out an old keyboard or buy a new one. The setup was simple, the new Windows 8.1 takes a little getting used to if you are not familiar with it. It is not totally loaded with bloatware, there are minimal extra programs loaded and the ones that are there are useful. Overall completely satisfied.

    I have had this Asus Essentio M11BB-B07 for about a month now and am completely satisfied with my purchase. I had the Geek Squad upgrade the hardware, at the time of purchase, by adding a 256GB SSD and that was all that it needed. I went in looking for the ASUS M51ACUS002S but it is always out of stock and now has to be ordered in. The salesman, Dillinger, showed me this AMD A10 machine and it's processor speeds are higher than the Intel so I decided to give it a chance. Especially since it costs half as much and I didn't need all the extra RAM or GPU because I will only use this for photo editing. Running Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS6 has been a breeze on this machine compared to my first gen i7 that it replaced. The on-board 802.11ac wireless LAN made it even easier to set-up in any room!

    I did not realize the treasure that I have in the, Asus - Essentio Desktop - AMD A10-Series - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive, until I opened the case. A WORD OF CAUTION, DON'T OPEN THE CASE UNTIL AFTER YOUR WARRANTY PERIOD IS OVER. I was amazed at how much room was available for additional hardware, and how well the motherboard was marked. Let's just say that expansion is the word for the Asus Essentio.

    Can't Imagine A Better Computer for the Money.....

    I've been told by people that know a lot more about this stuff than I do that Asus is a good computer. I was pleased to find this computer for $500 at Best Buy, and I couldn't be more pleased. While I don't do heavy duty stuff on a computer, it's still important to me that it be faster than a tortoise and not bog down easily. Based on my amateur-level experience and the brief period that I've had the computer, I'm impressed and very happy. I have not had it long enough to experience a problem so I can't speak to Asus support. If there is one change that I would make it would be to add usb 3.0 access to the front of the tower.

    For what your paying you get a great PC. I upgraded the graphics card, power supply and added a SSD and wtill stayed under $1000 for a machine that can run pretty much any new release game at high/max settings.
